SZN 6 EP 7 - Jessica, Next Shift / Retired Police Sgt. After 10 Yrs / Law Enforcement Career Transition Coach / Pros & Cons of Being Married to a Fellow LEO
Manage episode 433835118 series 3592683
Joining via zoom is Jessica from the very cold Kansas City, Missouri. Jessica is a retired Police Sgt. who's career was unexpectedly cut short, which like most, she was not prepared for. Jessica started Next Shift and became a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) transition coach in order to help our LEO community be prepared to adapt to life after being an LEO.
In our community, we don't know what each shift has in store for us, which is pretty scary. Similar to Jessica's experience, there have been several LEO's who's careers took an immediate halt unexpectedly and never thought their career would be over prior to their retirement.
Jessica shares some of the challenges regarding retirement in our community such as a lack of structure, figuring out a second career, no longer sense of belonging, loss of identity, forgotten about by the department, rewiring your brain and body to retirement conditions, and more...
Through Next Shift, Jessica offers a free monthly zoom meeting for LEO's (active/retired), which is a safe place to talk freely and look out for each other. Also, Jessica talks about the importance of a daily habit structure, offers 25 skills for LEO's that that correlate to other jobs, in addition to individual coaching for LEO's.
Also, Jessica offers a single coaching session and 3-month coaching packages. Reach out to Jessica to sign up for the next debrief event and to book a free discovery call.
Further down the road, Jessica plans to have a designated coach for each profession amongst our first responder community in addition to their families.
Jessica started The Next Shift Podcast, which is available on Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Castbox, and will also be on TOC app under podcasts.
Thank you Jessica for joining the podcast and working with our LEO's to help with the transitional period from active to retired life!
